IMPROVEMENT IN CORN-ROW MARKERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 206,800, dated August6, 1 78; application filed May 21, 1877.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL P. KIMBALL, of thecounty of Union and State of Ohio, have invented a new and valuableImprovement in Corn-Row Markers; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the constructionand operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making apart of this specification, and t0 the letters and figures ofreference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of my improved marker.Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.

This invention has relation to corn row markers in which the driver isenabled to shift the marker to the right orleft as occasion may require;and the novelty consists in the combination and construction of theparts, as will he hereinafter more fully set forth, and pointed out inthe claim.

The letter A represents a sulky frame mounted on wheels. A indicates alever pivoted to the rear end of the tongue H, and its outer endprovided with a marker, 0, of elliptical shape. The lever A is supportedby means of a chain or cord, I1, attached to the seat t, supported uponstandards (7, and the forward end of the lever is supported by means ofthe chain 3 attached to the upper end of the 1n arker, and extendingforward to the curved arched bar D, where a connection is made by aring, f, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The ends of the curvedarched bar D are permanently fastened to the cross-bar c.

The operation is as follows: Whenever the driver, who is mounted uponthe seat, desires to move the marker to the right or left, he pulls uponthe chain h, which will cause the lever to pass over his head, the ringcarrying the forward end of the chain 3 to the same side, say left, thusleaving the marker suspended in the same position on the left that ithad on the right.
